BUILD AFRICA 

We combine education and livelihoods in programmes that work with children and families to deliver projects that will make a lasting difference to their lives. Whether the project ensures a community's children receive an education or helps communities save money and access loans to develop small businesses, we are empowering people to use their own energies to escape poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • This charity uses a corporate trustee

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 36 years
